A quick and easy strawberry pie featuring a glossy glaze and fresh berries, perfect for summer gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (9″) frozen pie crust, baked
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1 pound fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 1 (3 oz) package strawberry gelatin

Instructions

  1. Preheat and bake the frozen pie crust following package instructions. Remove from oven and cool completely.
  2. In a large saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Heat over medium until warm.
  3. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with a few tablespoons of the water to make a smooth slurry.
  4. Slowly whisk the cornstarch slurry into the warm sugar water, whisking constantly to avoid lumps.
  5. Continue to stir for 4 to 5 minutes until the mixture thickens and becomes slightly clear.
  6. Remove the pan from heat and whisk in the strawberry gelatin until fully dissolved.
  7. Let the glaze cool to room temperature to avoid cooking the strawberries.
  8. Place sliced strawberries in a bowl, pour the cooled glaze over them, and toss gently to coat.
  9. Pour the glazed strawberries into the cooled pie crust and spread evenly.
  10. Refrigerate the pie for 2 to 3 hours, or until the filling is set.
  11. Serve chilled with whipped cream, if desired.

Notes

Use ripe, firm strawberries for the best texture. A homemade crust works as well. Store leftovers tightly covered in the refrigerator.
